In rural areas, we can see various wild vegetables, which are not only used to alleviate hunger, but also have excellent medicinal effects. Let's take a look at the dietary effects and pictures of "false ginseng" together with the editor!
False Ginseng
False ginseng, scientifically known as "Lulan", is a perennial herbaceous plant that can flower. During its flowering period, the red flowers and green leaves complement each other, making it look very beautiful.
Initially, Lulan was introduced into China as a courtyard ornamental plant. However, because of its strong vitality, it gradually became a wild weed that can be seen in rural areas and suburbs of China.
This is a high-quality wild vegetable in rural areas. Except for the coldest two months of winter, its tender leaves can be harvested and consumed throughout the year.
Value of False Ginseng
1. Edible
In southern China, people have the habit of eating "false ginseng", especially in the Guangzhou area. The tender stems and leaves of Lulan are called "ginseng vegetable" and are cultivated and sold as vegetables.

It has good tonic effects for people with weak constitution and lack of energy.
